About LWDR
Our first retreat was held October 2007 in the Outer Banks with 24 ladies attending. Over the years, the word has spread and we have an average of 75 – 90 ladies in attendance the last several years.
Living Word Deaf Ladies Retreat uses ASL as the primary means of communication. All speakers or those who share do so fluently in sign language. Voice interpreters are provided upon request. We support equal access for the Deaf and hearing who attend.
This is a team effort! We have a team based out of Living Word Deaf Church in Forest, Virginia which hosts the retreats, however, others (from out of state) have also joined our team throughout the years. Our team participates in a training workshop every year, where a speaker comes in to prepare and challenge our hearts for that year’s retreat.
